Pros

They really have created and propogated a great approach to management, where the managers are held responsible for maintaining a good work environment rather than a territorial "ownership" of the employees. And the work is challenging and interesting, moreso than other places that I've worked. A great place to work if you really want to do things. Compensation seems not only competitive but at the high end, from what I've seen. I'm sure that there are pockets in such a large organization where some of this doesn't hold, but I've been around (18 years experience at 9 different prime contractor sites) and I am very impressed with how ethical and how well-run Lockheed Martin is in general. Also their commitment to work-life balance - flexibility in work hours - is as real as it gets, and makes a big difference to me personally.

Cons

The TS&S work and location are a bit removed from the rest of the company. I hate to sound like a shill, but I really can't think of much negative to say about Lockheed Martin itself as opposed to negative aspects of particular jobs that don''t distinguish LM from other employers. Perhaps it is true that some of the workspaces - the buildings themselves and the work areas - seem cold and impersonal. At some places window offices are rare and most employees aren't near sunlight. If you're into your work that's not so much an issue, if not I guess it's a drag sometimes.

Good internship experience

Pros

All workers are treated with respect, and learning is emphasized. I developed close relationships to my coworkers and upper management. Management is always looking for talent, and if you prove yourself as an intern they will offer you a full0time employment opportunity. Workplace is not very stressful for interns. You have to take initiative because you won't have set tasks from time to time.

Cons

LMCO is a very big matrix organization, so communication from leadership to lower level employees is not efficient.

Pros

Great company to build your career. Many opportunities on a variety of projects. They support career growth and moving around to gain experience and different skill sets. Benefits are on par with many large scale corporations and work/life balance is important and respected by management.

Cons

Employee rating system is similar to many large scale corporations, but still somewhat unfair due to the amount of employees that need to go through this process each year. Ratings are fairly basic across the corporation and promotions and salary increases seem to be granted upon time spent at the company rather than based on performance.
